About The Demon Barber
Benjamin Barker is a barber who is sentenced to a life of hard labor in Australia for false charges by Judge Turpin, who lusted for the man's beautiful and virtuous wife Lucy and daughter Johanna. He escapes from incarceration after 15 years, and after being rescued from the sea by sailor Anthony Hope, returns to London, assuming the name Sweeney Todd. There he is told his wife has poisoned herself and his daughter has become the ward of the villainous Judge. The home and shop he once shared with his wife and daughter is now a run-down room full of scattered relics of the past. The room sits above a meat-pie emporium run by his former landlady, Nellie Lovett, who by her own admission sells "the worst pies in London". She takes him in and shows signs of a secret love for him, even in the days before he was arrested. She also returns to him his set of beautiful silver razors, and he vows revenge upon those who have destroyed his life and family.
